Adsense code placeholder problem

Hi,

Any ideas why adsense is not showing up?

I tried a couple of templates, drew a rectangle ( 728 x 90 ) set it as a placeholder, did the replace with html code, made sure it's on top of everything. Adsense code shows up in source code when uploaded to the site.
But, the ad just won't show. Same ad code on a simple html page out of Dreamweaver works fine, so it doesn't seem to be a Google adsense problem.

I searched this forum and googled it. Seems like I am doing everything correctly, but no ad showing.

Here is the link, ad is supposed to show in that white space on top, between top menu and the big background image

Welcome to TalkGraphics

I notice also that you do not have a page title so when I click your link the browser tab for your page show index. In Web Properties > Page and in Web Properties > Website enter a page title that names and describes the site.

Also on each page of your site make sure you have a title for that page and a good description of what is on that page.

And after each change or entry press Apply to make sure this info gets added.

All the adsense in the world is not going to help much if you don't provide the search engines with specific information about your site.

Thanks.

If ads don't work there is no point in finishing the site and adding all those details. I will just go back to Dreamweaver + manual coding.

I even tried a blank page in xara ( no templates ) added a title and a couple of pics, then ad code, still nothing shows up in any browser. It is obviously a problem with Xara because same ad code within a manually created html page works fine.
My guess is it's something within the roe.js java script file that prevents this from working ( that is one of the files Xara generates when exporting a site ).

Re: Adsense code placeholder problem

Not yet, I'd prefer to use html code/placeholder, but I may have to use one of those. Anyway, it makes no sense, same thing happening with mobirise and I notice that some xara templates are obviously made with something like mobirise which uses bootstrap framework, so there may be a problem there.

Well tried the widget, and all that does is insert a rectangle that gets replaced by HTML code, so exactly the same as doing it with a placeholder, so obviously same result, no ads.

Re: Adsense code placeholder problem

Thanks, but it seems I have found a workaround.

If anybody else is having problems with these responsive site templates. Instead of adding only adsense code into your placeholder, create a new division of your own.
For example, for a banner ad size you would do this: <div id="ad_here" style="width:728px; height:90px; margin: auto;"> adsensecode pasted here </div>
